The further we go into the New Testament, the more this distinction is
brought to be. Look for example at 1 John 4:8 where John makes the awesome
declaration that actually described AGAPE when he says, " The very God is
existing as the very ( dative case, singular ) personification of AGAPE."
Yes, God is AGAPE, hence whatever AGAPE is....it can be seen by looking at
who and what God is.

Wow, what a long post!
John is not saying God is a word [AGAPH] He is saying God is love! He is not
saying God is a special kind of love! He is saying God is love.
And, John is not describing AGAPH, he is describing God, who is love.
